My Dream, My Future

Dream a Happy Success
 Everyone had their own dreams.    Dream is something that all of us need to have. It is our vision. Dream is what you want to do for your future. Every person had their own journey in life also. I believe that having a great dream, is a must to us. And I have a big dream. Next month, I will be graduating as a high school student and I will face my next chapter in life, as a college student. I have already planned that my course is Bachelor of Science in Accountancy because my dream in my future is to become a certified public accountant. It is because I am happy with it. And I’m sure that I will become successful someday with the help of God and my parents who support me in studying.

It is said that fire righting is a very difficult job to get into because there are many applicants and it takes a very long time to know if you get the job. I know I have a long way to go before I can become an accountant, but that is my dream and I know if I work hard enough my dream will come true.

 Like I said before, it is very important to have a big dream. It is not wrong. Even if you cannot achieve if, just make it as your vision. Dream can help you to prepare to face this challenging world. What am I going through now is just the start. I just find the keys. I am still trying to open the door. When I finally did, I will not hesitate.

Change: It starts with me

The Power of Change
“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” – Leo Tolstoy. You want to make a difference in this world, right?

I’m no different from the rest of you in this respect – in fact; I’m probably more likely to claim this statement. Ever since I realized the mass potential of our lives, I’ve sub-consciously carried a mission to change the world and leave it a better place than when I found it.

However, recently I’ve had a re-think.

This desire to change the world all sounds very heroic and noble and grand. But is it possible? Is it really possible to change the world, to make huge differences so that people hail us and shower us with praise?

Yes and no. I think it is possible to make a difference in the world, perhaps to a small handful of the world’s population. But on the other hand, I don’t think it’s possible to change the world. There’s a difference between changing the world, and making a difference in the world, which is important to recognize because I believe you can do one but you can’t do the other.

Kannawidan: Ylokos Festival


Proud to be An Ilocano


KANNAWIDAN is an Ilocano term which means “a feast of all heritages, practices and products” in Ilocos Sur. The province of Ilocos Sur is celebrating its Kannawidan Ylocos Festival. This year marks the province’s 197th year based on the Royal Decree dated February 2, 1818 separating Ilocos Sur from Ilocos Norte.

The province has a rich heritage and unique cultures that need to be preserved for the next generations. Highlights include the members of the Bayanihan Dance Company entertained the Ilocanos with their world class performance of the Beauty of the Philippines through dances, music and sounds. Officials from the trade and agri fair displayed all products from the different towns of the Ilocos Sur and its nearby provinces. The annual “Pinaka Contest” was also held to give citations the local farmers’ extraordinary farm and fishery products and livestock. This Kannawidan Ylocos Festival aims to create awareness on the preservation of the province’ rich cultural heritage, practices and traditions, and a showcase of the different agriculture and industry products.
